[ DISPLAYING ABSTRACT ]

STOP at any fish market these days and note the abundance of crab meat. This is not the soft-shelled crab, which went out of season with fresh New Jersey corn, blueberries and other available-only-in-summer foods. It is the cooked meat of the shellfish, packed in one-pound pry-open tins that require constant refrigeration.
